    It's not that I lose the keys, I know exactly where they are. I just forget to put them in my pocket. I need to work on that. It's up to the owner of the property if they would like to add a keyless entry system.

    I'm getting a bit overrun with jam here too. Today I am experimenting with a jam for my own education and curiosity, Bacon Jam. It's a rather long process, to create this. Good thing the office and test kitchen are rather close.

    I did that for some time. Never had to use the key. However, this whole thing in my life has made me rethink some things. I also found my dad's old battered money clip recently. A bit of emotion and nostalgia drew me to use the money clip instead of the wallet.

    Might not be the best choice, however it is part and parcel to my goals of being less encumbered in so many ways.

    Yummmm...Bacon Jam...I can just feel my old ticker starting to slow down...kinda like sludge in the ole crankcase! :frown2: Just MY 2c, as usual. It's also a good thing that hospital is nearby, too...just in case that stuff REALLY slows down the "flow"...again, just sayin. Take care and don't get too overzealous, Nathan.

    Bacon makes everything better. We have a fairly famous ice cream joint nearby, Kelly's Creamery, home of Maple Bacon ice cream. Sounds horrible. Tastes great, one of my all time favorites.

    Nathan, 40 lbs, you are a wisp of your former self. Congratulations. :)

    Good to see you keeping the mind active (confusion with meds is always a problem), I do suggest a talk with your Doc, perhaps change out something.

    Keep it up.

    I'll take some'a that jelly out here dude! Also, I think a money clip is the only way'ta go. I can't stand all that extra bulk in my a$$ pocket causing unnecessary pain in my low back when sitting down... No worries about losing my cash either when it's up front.

    Oh, the horror!! It's jam, not jelly!

    So you will be looking for the skinny bearded guy with jam in his beard selling jam.

    Umm, the goatee is gone. Not growing a beard.

    Skinny I'll never be. More fit yes, but there is just way to much mass here to ever be skinny. My body has to cart me around all these years. There is muscle there. Just have to remove that extra layer to find it.

    I don't make jelly's. I create uniquely flavored artisanal jams crafted with care from locally sourced (when possible) Non-GMO, certified organic ingredients.

    I've carried my cash in a money clip for decades now.

    A few years ago a gave up my fat wallet. Forced myself to put all I REALLY needed into a skinny front pocket wallet Like This that rides in my front pocket with my money clip. No bulk.

    Just keep my ID, CC permit, insurance card, debit card and three credit cards (1 business / 2 personal). Plus a folded up blank check and an emergency C note. It was torture making myself give up the other 72 things I had in my old wallet. But I have NEVER needed any of it, once done. I used to carry that in my car for a while, but no longer.

    I had back problems years ago. My doc, on my first visit in, said "Well... first thing you are going to do is get that wallet out of your back pocket. No... not later... RIGHT NOW." It makes sense... if you are having back problems, why in the hell would you force yourself to sit unevenly just to carry a bunch of crap around with you?

    I looked at the contents that night: Do I really need to carry a Subway card with me everywhere I go? My grocery store discount card? Nope!

    Now I've got my driver's license, 2 credit cards (one for business, one for personal), a debit/ATM card and my med insurance card. I've got 3 of my business cards in there and some cash, folded in half. Oh yeah... my BART card (public transportation card for the San Francisco Bay Area) is a recent addition. The rest of the crap rides in the glove box of my car or in my briefcase.

    I'm on my third or fourth of these in about 15-20 years... I ask my wife for a new one for our Anniversary every few years when the old one wears out. The design is thin (no extra layers of leather for the sake of organization) and simple. It forces me to be careful about what I choose and the end result is slimmer than my iPhone, so they ride in the same pocket of my pants.

    (I let her pick out the color/design so she feels like she is contributing to the gift and giving me a bit of style)

    Lol... they make several versions of this wallet... I like the simple one that I lined to that has 2 card slots on either side plus a slot in the middle that i use for cash. If you are using this as a wallet organizer, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG! :p

    They also have one with a money clip on one side, a version with a see-thru ID window on one side and another with a zipper compartment in the center.

    I knew someone was going to say that right after I posted it. :lol:

    I have one with a few cards like ID, medical, ATM that I carry.

    The other one is in my desk full of credit cards and other stuff I don't need to carry all the time. It helps me not to charge and spend money when I am out but dose not work that well when I am sitting at my desk on-line shopping. :rolleyes5::lol:

    I'm working on a crack wallet--won't be sitting on it, and I doubt any thief is going to be willing to go there. If I market it, sizing could be a dilemma, I want to do a one size fits all for simplicities sake, but I'm afraid it could lead to a few lost wallets.
